Small fire at Gurnee factory

No one was hurt in a late-morning fire that shut down a Gurnee frozen pizza factory briefly on Wednesday, firefighters said.

Little Lady Foods at 1910 Swanson Court lost power around 11 a.m. The shop's conveyor belt stopped, but the oven kept running, starting a fire.

Workers at the plant were able to put out the fire before emergency crews arrived, but firefighters had to spend about 45 minutes ventilating the facility, which was filled with smoke.

Little Lady Foods was able to resume operating after cleaning and disinfecting the area per federal regulations, firefighters said.
